Yeah but he’s been immense. George talking about a ‘laboured run’ there, the ref got in his way ffs.
btw, where did they get 2 mins of injury time from?

I’d love to see his foul count, he got away with murder there since the sending off but he never stopped trying the poor fucker. Ruiz looks like he may need a defibrillator.
Three very well taken penos so far
Make that seven.
But not eight!
Is this one of of the 93%?
Yes they’re there!
Samaras is some bottler not having the balls to take a penalty
Yesssssssssss, our boys march on. Fuck the English, fuck the Italians, fuck the Greeks, bring on the Dutch.
Great save from the keeper. Really good penalties from Costa Rica. Paulo Wanchope is ageing very gracefully.
Standard of penalties was excellent in that shootout.
Miss the decisive peno and scored Brazil’s goal for them 
Serves him right for trying to mug off Tim Cahill, the fucking cheat. In his defence though, he was played in midfield by both Davies & Brazil due to all the injuries, he’s plainly not a midfielder.
Delighted for the Costa Ricans, superb display with 10 men. The Greeks are fucking caustic to watch. Mind you, the Spliffs will prefer to face them than Greece. Costa Rica won’t have any blanket defence.

Ah here.
So Robben has come out and admitted he dived yesterday, was it for this the wild Geese fled?
Not for the penalty mind you. Not for the penalty.
Yes he did… There was very minimun contact, but enough for the modern world, with the aid of slow mo, to judge it a peno but he still dived to exaggerate it…If he had been properly booked for the first dive he doesn’t make that second one. That’s the problem…
No, he said he didnt dive for the penalty. He admitted to diving for another.
Marquez was wrong to dive in as he did, Robben was going nowhere. He brought it on himself.

Marquez didn’t ‘dive’ in… He flicked Robbens boot and Robben threw himself in the air like he stepped on a mine. In the modern game it is a peno, but if the ref had been strong and correctly issued a yellow for the first dive maybe cunts like Robben don’t go throwing thmselves in the air when someone brushes off them. It is getting to the stage when defenders have to stand two feet off attackers in the box. Weak officiating. Weak governing body. The game is ruined… Maybe I just expect too much from players when I expect them to be men.
Agreed
TFK has a huge problem. It condones cheating, simulation and cowardliness.
The game cannot move forward until the board addresses these issues…
